Our Chief Executive Carrie Lam-Cheng Yuet Ngor, is becoming increasingly talkative lately (“ Carrie Lam interview: Hong Kong’s leader in her own words on protests, political turmoil and what next for the city ”, November 30). Among her many comments, she even said she has a massive pile of cash at home. Why is this so? I believe Lam is now in a good mood – in stark contrast to when she was receiving flak because of the extradition bill issue and seeing massive protesters on the streets. Perhaps Lam has been longing for Legislative Council meetings in which there are no run-ins or dust-ups. Her dream seems to have come true. The absence of voices from the opposition camp has made the Legco chamber calmer. Order has apparently been restored. On top of that, there are quite a few positive sound bites related to Lam. Perhaps she is enjoying all the plaudits she received during the question and answer session after delivering her policy address. She was called “a superwoman” and her policies “visionary”. Everyone likes to be praised, and our venerable chief executive is no exception. No wonder she wore a face wreathed in smiles, and said she would like to resume her monthly Q&A with lawmakers. The absence of any snide or infuriating remarks from the opposition has no doubt improved Lam’s mood. Moreover, bills can now be passed effortlessly. However, ordinary Hongkongers would prefer a greater diversity of voices in Legco, to keep some perspective. In this way, different sections of the public’s voices can be heard and their opinions considered. Randy Lee, Ma On Shan Opposition lawmakers should enlighten us on their contributions With reference to the report “ Wanted in Hong Kong, ex-opposition lawmaker Ted Hui makes exile bid overseas, raising prospect of tighter leash on activists awaiting trial back home ” (December 3), as ordinary news consumers, what we hear, see and read about these opposition lawmakers makes them seem to be mainly professional filibusterers . It would be very interesting to hear, straight from the horse’s mouth, how they see themselves. They should give us, ordinary citizens, a rundown of what they have done (in their view) for the city during their time as lawmakers. They should also give us an honest breakdown of what Hong Kong has spent on their services – for each year and/or accumulated, including costs such as office expenditure and salaries for assistants. Perhaps the Post could give each of these democratic lawmakers one-eighth of a page to send this valuable information to the grass roots. I am waiting. Roland Guettler, Lai Chi Kok
